You are watering to much and or using shit dirt and or your humidity is way to high and or.... who fucking knows. Your definitely doing something very wrong. Try fabric pots? Look them up on amazon they are really cheap. Watch some youtube videos on how to water from seed to harvest.

It is a common build up of salts and minerals that should be removed from the pot before reusing but it is highly unlikely that it had anything to do with your plant problem.

That shit looks like straight up mold to me. I know what you are saying, my saucers are covered in it. This guy has something much different.

IDK, looks common to me.
This is when it helps when others chime in and they will eventually.

Do your pots have drain holes in them? Your plants legit look like they are swimming. I use a blend of half M3 super soil, half roots organic, and some perlite for spice. Top dress fertilizer at start and middle of flower. Simple as that.

I just realize I was on a different page about the build up on the pot. If that happened in four months I would consider it a problem for sure. I was looking at it from the perspective of a long term build up that happens in a pots over a period of years. I have house plants as old as 10 years that occasionally get a transplant after so many years. Or my planters outside that go for long periods without transplant. That type of build up shown will happen in those situations but not during a four month grow.

Pretty sure this guy is saying that happened in a few weeks.

Have you ever seen a well used fabric pot? They get covered in salt too. Saw a couple in a post the other day that were almost white. Plants looked great though.
OP, vinegar will clean up the mineral build up. Just in case, we're all wrong, I'd followed with a bleach dunk too.

You need to get organized my friend, and that's not my OCD talking.

This is not a well used pot. It looks like it had a plant in it for 3-4 weeks. My point for suggesting fabric pots is so he stops DROWNING his plants. I legit dont think the pot he is using even has drain holes.

It does have small holes, but it looks like they haven't been punch thru all the way. Or it has one of those bottom catch trays?
Either way, you're right, they should have better drainage

Thats why im saying fabric pots..... Cheap, disposable, and the best drainage. The guy is clearly having mold issues and fabric pots would be the biggest help. Plus new fabric pots will be free of the "bacteries" as he puts it.
